Chorus History

In the summer of 2013, Ellen Weeks and J.R. Tarabocchia were standing in line to get food at the PSU food carts and started a conversation about reviving the PSU Community Chorus. They met a few times over the summer to iron out the details. The newly revived group met for the first time on October 8, 2013, with 50 singers strong from many campus departments.

The Chorus continued to sing and perform up until the COVID 19 pandemic in 2020. They tried a few virtual songs (see Love, Tender Love and The Parting Glass), but officially went on hold until they started in-person rehearsals again in Winter 2023.

Does anyone know the history of this group prior to its revival? Please let us know!
